4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may affect respiratory system and cause symptoms of bronchitis. Remove victim
to fresh air. If symptoms persist, get medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, shoes and equipment. Wash all affected areas with soap and
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Wash contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. Get medical
attention if irritation occurs or persists.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large quantities of running water for a minimum of 15 minutes. If the victim is
wearing contact lenses, remove them. Hold the eyelids apart during the flushing to ensure rinsing of the entire
surface of the eye and lids with water. Get medical attention if eye irritation occurs.
Ingestion: ONLY induce vomiting at the instructions of a physician. If victim is conscious, rinse mouth and give
water to drink. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention if health effects
occur.

Engineering Controls - Ventilation: Special ventilation is usually not required under normal use conditions.
However, ensure that existing ventilation is sufficient to prevent the circulation and/or accumulation of dust in the
air. If ventilation is inadequate based on conditions of use, personal protective equipment is needed.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• Respiratory Protection: If handling operations generate dust, wear a NIOSH-approved half -mask, air
purifying respirator with dust, mist and fume filters to reduce potential for inhalation exposure. When using
respirator cartridges or canisters, they must be changed frequently (following each use or at the end of the
work shift) to assure breakthrough exposure does not occur.
• Eye Protection: Indirect -vented, dust -tight goggles should be worn when handling this product.
• Skin Protection: Skin contact with the product should be minimized or prevented through the use of
suitable protective clothing, gloves (nitrile gloves are recommended) and footwear selected according to use
condition exposure potential.
Other Protection: All food and smoking materials should be kept in a separate area away from the storage/use
location. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where there is a potential for significant
exposure to this material. Before eating, drinking and smoking, hands and face should be thoroughly washed.

Acute exposure: No data available.
Chronic exposure: No known effects for this product.
SKIN
Acute contact: Dermal toxicity for this product is not available. It is not considered to be irritating to skin. A
related product containing 32% ferric sodium EDTA was slightly irritating to rabbit skin following repeated
application.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
INGESTION
Acute exposure: The oral LD50 for Ferric sodium EDTA is 2710 mg/kg in male rats and 3160 mg/kg in female
rats.
Chronic exposure: Ingestion of up to 86.15 mg/kg/day of ferric sodium EDTA for 31 or 61 days by rats resulted
in an accumulation of iron in the liver, spleen, and kidneys. There were no abnormal necropsy or histopathology
findings.
SENSITIZATION: No data available.
CARCINOGENICITY: IARC, NTP, ACGIH and OSHA do not classify this material as a carcinogen or suspect
carcinogen.
MUTAGENICITY: Ferric sodium EDTA, when tested as a pure substance, gave a negative response in the
Ames Assay and the E. Coli bacterial reversion assay, but a positive response in the Mouse Lymphoma Assay
(in vitro) with and without metabolic activation at concentrations which were cytotoxic. The positive response was
attributed to a possible sensitivity of the cells to abnormal iron concentrations.
TERATOGENICITY / EMBRYOTOXICITY: EDTA and its sodium salts have been reported, in some studies, to
cause developmental toxicity in laboratory animals only at exaggerated doses that were toxic to the mother.
These effects are likely associated with zinc deficiency due to chelation. Exposures having no effect on the zinc
level of the mother should have no effect on the fetus.
OTHER TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS: None known.
TARGET ORGANS: Skin and eyes.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity: The following data is available for Ferric sodium EDTA:
Test (Species)
Exposure / Duration
Test Results
Fish (bluegill)

Daphnia
24-h
EC50 = 110 mg/L
Algae (S. capricornutum)
72-h
EC50 = 76.7 mg/L
Chemical Fate / Degradation
• Abiotic: 90-94% photodegradation (aqueous) in 24 hours.
• Biotic: 89% biodegradation in 5 days when evaluated using a mixed population of aerated bacteria.
Other information: Ferric sodium EDTA component is not likely to bioaccumulate due to its high water
solubility and a Log Pow = -10.6 (based on EPIWIN model).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
